The village's Compass 2040 comprehensive plan, adopted October 5, 2020, says Gurnee went from 7,100 residents in 1980 to 28,800 in 2000, helped by the I-94 tollway, Great America (opened 1976) and Gurnee Mills (opened 1991). It counts 74.8% of the village's homes as built since 1980 ([Compass 2040](https://www.gurneeil.gov/Documents/Departments/Community%20Development/Planning%20and%20Zoning%20Maps%20Ordinances%20and%20Plans/compass-2040.pdf)). The plan describes two halves of Gurnee: the west side has newer developments with large homes on relatively large lots, and the east side is older and more modest, mostly built between the 1960s and 1980s. A roof on a 1990s west side house is probably a first roof with 25 to 30 years on it. A 1970s east side house is often on its second or third. The plan's 2013 to 2017 estimates also count 1,630 townhouse units and about 2,700 multifamily units among occupied homes. Townhomes and condos are usually governed by an association with its own roofing rules, and the association often controls the material, color and contractor. ## Storm History in Gurnee None of the 2026 events in our storm records names Gurnee. Lake County does appear: the April 27 wake low winds ([NWS Chicago](https://www.weather.gov/lot/2026_4_27_WakeLow)) and the July 27 storm complex, in which SPC reports show an 82 mph gust at Beach Park and hangar damage at Waukegan Airport ([SPC storm reports, July 27, 2026](https://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/reports/260727_rpts.html)). Beach Park and Waukegan are a few miles from Gurnee. Those are the events in the storm box above, with their dates. A report nearby does not mean your roof was hit, and it does not mean it wasn't. ## Reroof Permits in Gurnee The Village of Gurnee Community Development Department is at 325 N. O'Plaine Road ([Gurnee roofs](https://www.gurneeil.gov/departments/community_development/building_permits.php), checked October 22, 2026). Reroof permits can be filed online through the village's [One-Stop Shop](https://onestop.gurnee.il.us/Apply.aspx). Inspections are scheduled by calling 847-599-7550 with at least 24 hours' notice. The village's page says no more than one layer of asphalt or fiberglass shingles may go over an existing asphalt or fiberglass roof, asphalt shingles may not go over wood shingles or shakes, and shingles must weigh at least about 235 pounds per square. Asbestos-cement shingles are prohibited. The applicant must include the contractor's proposal, and homeowners association or architectural review approval must come first where required. The page does not state a reroof fee or an ice barrier rule, so those are not published there. ## Storm Damage Roofing Services for Gurnee Every Gurnee project starts with a Haag-certified inspector on the roof deck. They walk each slope, press-test for bruising and mat fractures, examine every flashing, pipe boot and vent, and photograph the damage. The inspection takes about 45 minutes and produces a report you can hand to your insurance company. The report is yours whether or not you hire us. Our post on [identifying hail damage](https://chicagostormpros.com/blog/what-does-hail-damage-look-like-on-a-roof/) explains what we look for. For Gurnee homes with confirmed damage, [storm restoration](https://chicagostormpros.com/storm-restoration/) means tear-off to the deck, replacing any bad decking and underlayment, ice and water barrier at eaves and in valleys, and new flashings, pipe boots, drip edge and ridge ventilation. Active leaks shouldn't wait for paperwork. Our [emergency repair](https://chicagostormpros.com/emergency-roof-repair/) team can tarp or seal a breach to keep water out. ## Insurance and Your Gurnee Roof C&N documents the damage, meets your adjuster on the roof and scopes the work. We're roofing contractors, not [public adjusters](https://chicagostormpros.com/public-adjuster/), and we don't negotiate your claim for you. Your policy sets its own terms; check your declarations page. If a claim is denied or comes in low, you can ask for a re-inspection, invoke the appraisal clause in your policy, or hire a licensed public adjuster. Our guide to [filing a roof insurance claim](https://chicagostormpros.com/blog/how-to-file-roof-insurance-claim/) walks through the steps. ### Free Storm Damage Inspection in Gurnee A Haag-certified inspector documents your roof with photos and measurements. You get the report whether or not you hire us.

A storm chaser's warranty is backed by nothing. Ask for the contractor's written proposal, which the village requires with every reroof permit application. C&N Construction is headquartered in Hillside, IL, and has been at the same address since 2015. It has completed over 25,400 projects across Chicagoland, uses W-2 crews rather than subcontractors, and holds the GAF Master Elite designation with Golden Pledge limited warranty coverage. BBB A+ rating, 4.6 Google review average. We also serve [Waukegan](https://chicagostormpros.com/waukegan-il/), [Vernon Hills](https://chicagostormpros.com/vernon-hills-il/), and the rest of Lake County. Our in-house crews carry the same GAF warranty coverage on every project. What the Money Looks Like On an approved storm claim, your out-of-pocket cost in Gurnee for the covered work is your deductible. Your policy sets it: often a flat amount such as $1,000 to $2,500, and for wind and hail frequently a percentage of dwelling coverage (1% to 2%). Paying cash, most residential roof replacements land between **$14,000 and $25,000** depending on the size of the home, with larger or complex roofs running higher and repairs starting around $400. ### What moves the number Roof size and pitch, tear-off layers, decking condition, and material tier. Every quote is itemized line by line, so you can see which one is moving yours. ### What a normal job includes Tear-off and disposal, underlayment and ice and water shield, flashing and drip edge, ridge venting, cleanup with magnetic sweeps, the permit, and warranty registration. Full pricing detail: [replacement costs](https://chicagostormpros.com/roof-replacement-cost/), [repair costs](https://chicagostormpros.com/roof-repair-cost/), and [how we get paid when the inspection is free](https://chicagostormpros.com/compare/how-do-we-get-paid/). Insurance figures assume a covered peril and approved claim; your policy controls. The only out-of-pocket surprises we allow are the ones we disclose first: rotted decking and upgrades you choose.

Our documented supplement recovered it: a $2,928 line added to the carrier's own estimate, with photos attached. And when we didn't complete a $13.81 downspout item on another project, the final invoice showed a $13.81 credit. Itemized in both directions, every time.

Who Should You Actually Call? ### A handyman is fine when One slipped shingle on a young roof, a gutter re-hang, or a small cash fix under a few hundred dollars. No claim involved, no documentation needed. We'd rather tell you that than sell you a truck roll. ### Call us when Storm damage, anything slope-wide, a replacement, or any job where insurance is paying, because that's a [documentation job](https://chicagostormpros.com/compare/legitimate-roofing-invoice/) as much as a roofing job. Weighing whether to file at all? [The break-even math is here](https://chicagostormpros.com/compare/insurance-claim-vs-out-of-pocket/). ### It's urgent when Water is inside, decking is exposed, or a tree is on the roof. [Emergency tarping runs 24/7](https://chicagostormpros.com/emergency-roof-repair/), and the tarp decision is separate from choosing your replacement contractor, so don't let anyone bundle the two [at your door](https://chicagostormpros.com/compare/roofer-knocked-on-my-door/). ### How It Works When You Say Yes **No-risk contract.** You sign a contingency agreement. Work starts after insurance approves the claim. If it doesn't go through, you owe nothing. **Your budget, your call.** You can spec down the project to match your insurance payout exactly. You won't pay for unapproved work unless you tell us to order it before the approval. **We call you first.** If there's a gap between our recommendation and insurance, we call you. The only reasons you'd pay extra are damaged lumber or a luxury shingle upgrade. Common Questions ## Gurnee Storm Damage FAQs Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Gurnee? Yes. The Village of Gurnee takes reroof permit applications online through its One-Stop Shop and requires a copy of the contractor's proposal. It allows no more than one layer of asphalt or fiberglass shingles over an existing roof, and requires HOA approval where applicable. Inspections need 24 hours' notice at 847-599-7550. The reroof fee is not stated on the roof page (checked October 22, 2026). Has a recent storm hit Gurnee? None of the 2026 storm events in our records names Gurnee. Lake County appears in the April 27 wake low wind reports and the July 27 storm complex with an 82 mph gust at Beach Park and hangar damage at Waukegan Airport, a few miles away. An inspection tells you whether your roof took any of it. What kind of roof does a typical Gurnee home have? Gurnee's comprehensive plan says 74.8% of homes were built since 1980, with large newer homes on the west side and older, more modest homes on the east side, mostly from the 1960s to 1980s. Most roofs are asphalt shingle, and townhomes and condos usually fall under an association's rules. Should I call my insurance company or a roofer first in Gurnee? Inspect first, file second. A Haag-certified inspection gives you the facts before you talk to your carrier: the scope, the severity and whether the damage clears your deductible. C&N documents the damage, meets the adjuster on the roof and scopes the work. We're roofing contractors, not public adjusters, and your policy sets its own terms; check your declarations page. How long do I have to file a storm damage claim in Gurnee? Your policy sets its own deadline to report a loss, and it varies and can be short, so check your declarations page or ask your agent. Each verified storm in the box near the top of this page lists its own date. If you haven't had your Gurnee roof looked at since a storm, schedule an inspection while the evidence is still fresh. Does C&N Construction work in Gurnee? Yes. C&N Construction has completed roofing projects in Gurnee, and the count from its job records appears in the Recent C&N Work section of this page. Crews are W-2 employees dispatched from the Hillside headquarters. How do I avoid a storm chaser in Gurnee? Look up the company's permanent office address, verify its Illinois roofing license and read real Google reviews. Ask for the contractor's written proposal, which the village requires with every reroof permit application. Offering to waive your deductible is insurance fraud under Illinois law, so walk away from anyone who does. Get Started ## Find Out What Your Gurnee Roof Took Free Haag-certified inspection.
